LEGO Serious Play is a creative and enjoyable method where participants build small models in response to a challenge or brief, and use these models as the foundation for meaningful conversations. It’s a hands-on, minds-on approach that combines kinesthetic, visual, and listening skills, to unlock creativity and spark innovative thinking. By incorporating storytelling and metaphor, LEGO Serious Play enhances communication, ensuring that ideas stick long after the workshop ends.

LEGO Serious Play breaks down barriers to creativity, making it accessible and fun -even those who think they’re “not creative”! No need to worry about drawing skills or awkward role-playing. LEGO levels the playing field, giving everyone the same tools to express their ideas. The result? Participants discover they are far more creative than they thought, building meaningful models that communicate ideas they never imagined expressing through words alone.

It doesn’t matter whether you have big personalities, introverts, new team members, or power imbalances—LEGO Serious Play is inherently democratic: everyone builds, shares, and contributes equally puts everyone on the same playing field. From CEOs to interns, board members to volunteers, everyone is on the same playing field and time and time again, groups discover that the quietest voices often hold the most powerful ideas.
